May 2012 Empties
15 June
This is my very first empties post! All of these empties were used up and collected throughout May! It took some effort, I'll tell ya! I've seen quite a few people do posts and YouTube videos on their empties and it really spurred me on and motivated me to get using products up myself, especially as I have an abundance of them!
So what did I use up?
Herbal Essences Hello Hydration Conditioner
I have used Herbal Essences for years. It used to be my go-to brand for shampoo and conditioner. But I've noticed over the past few months that it isn't right for my hair anymore and I have moved on to other brands and products. The only problem is I still have a few bottles of the Hello Hydration range to use up! But I'm getting there!
Next Paradise Perfumed Shower Gel
I have actually had this for years, bought with the Paradise perfume in a set. And I decided I was sick of seeing it in my bathroom and it was time to use it up! And use it up I did!! It took an absolute age to finish but eventually, it was all gone!
Andrew Collinge Smooth & Shine Salon Conditioner
This is another product I've had in my bathroom for a couple of years now. I used to use it all the time but then I just kind of went off of it. So whilst collecting for my May empties I decided it was the perfect time to finish it up!
Matrix Curl Life Shampoo
Yet again (are you noticing a trend yet?) another hair product I've had for a long, long time. So glad to be finally rid of this one as I hated the smell of it!
L'oreal Dermo-Expertise Gentle Make-Up Remover
This has been my go-to make up remover for years now and one I always repurchase, although I am currently trying out Bioderma!!
Clairol Colourseal Conditioning Gloss
I have an abundance of these from the various times I have coloured my hair and I adore how they make my hair feel! A very quick and easy conditioning treatment.
Lush Ocean Salt Facial Scrub
I've had this laying around for a while and I didn't seem to want to finish it but I decided (and maybe this is cheating) to wash out the pot, add it to my empties and then save it for when I take pots back to Lush!
Neutrogena Visibly Clear Rapid Clear Wipes
I adore these face wipes, in fact I think they are probably my favourite! They have an exfoliating texture to them and they really help get rid of all of my make up when I don't have any of my liquid make up removers to hand! I will definitely be repurchasing these!
Aussie Take The Heat 3 Minute Miracle Deep Treatment Mask
I love Aussie. I love the smell. The way it makes my hair feel. I do conditioning treatments quite often and this is one of my favourites!
Hand & Face Wipes Cherry Scented
These were actually from New Look and really small and dainty, perfect for your hand bag! I always like having hand wipes in my bag as well as hand sanitiser!
Oribe Shampoo and Conditioner for Beautiful Colour
I got a sample of the shampoo and one of the conditioner from Space NK when I made my very first Nars purchase. I was really excited to try these and they didn't disappoint! They made my hair feel amazing! Shame I can't afford the full size...
So that's it, my first empties post! Do you use any of the products I have listed here? Have you collected any empties to make your own post?

I love empties posts :) I am super tempted to start doing my own! It should get me motivated to use up some stuff!
ReplyDeleteIt's worth it, because you use up products lying around! I enjoyed using every thing up and writing this post, so definitely do your own :) xo
DeleteI'm also on a huge mission within my house to get rid of products, we have so many lying around it is untrue!
ReplyDeleteI finished off a Sanctuary Body Scrub just the other day and I felt so much satisfaction haha :P
Great post!

Oh I love Sanctuary body scrubs! :) xo
Deletei always feel so good when i finish products as i have so many lying around!how did the matrix one smelled like?looks as if it smell citrusy..??x
ReplyDeleteIt definitely didn't smell citrusy. I don't know how to explain it. It was a very unpleasant smell. Plastic kind of smell with a full old people scent to it :') xo
Deletedid you not like the ocean salt? I use mine religiously !!
ReplyDeleteI do, but it's a tub I've had for a couple of years so I didn't think it'd be overly safe to use still! xo
DeleteI love using up products, it feels so satisfying but then I think as a pat on the back I'll buy something else lol Great post xx
ReplyDeleteThankfully I have enough of every thing to keep me going for months without having to repurchase! xo
DeleteLiterally looked through this post like I USE THAT TOO ha-ha the scented wipes sound so cute + perfect for on the go!

It's also great for when you go swatch crazy in store ;) xo
DeleteI've never saw an 'empty post' before but I loved it! I dont havy any good empty but guess now with your post I felt like I need to do it! Sometimes I spend so much money buying products but never use them... Very well done :)
ReplyDeleteOh and here in Brazil is almost impossible to find Aussie, but I'll gonna make a trip to europe on july and Aussie's hair stuffs are the first on my wishlist!
Definitely stock up on Aussie when you can! xo
DeleteI've been using those Neutrogena face wipes and I love em! They're selling them for £1 in my local savers, worth a look if you've got a savers near you! I love this sort of post x
ReplyDeleteWhat a steal!! Unfortunately I am doing the 100 Day Challenge so no spending for me!! xo
DeleteI'm definitely hoping to have an "Empties" post for June, you went through a lot this month!! I'm doing product 50 Pan so I can't buy anything until I get through 5 products so it's definitely inspiring me to use what I have!! Awesome!! I love the Neutrogena face wipes!
ReplyDeleteI've finish two more products today alone so hopefully June's empties will be just as full :) xo
DeleteSo many empties! The Aussie 3 minute miracle treatment is amazing! I love Aussie products.
ReplyDeleteI just used it again (but the bottle version) in the shower :) I love Aussie! xo
DeleteI love the Aussie 3 minute miracle mask, nothing smells as good as it and it always makes my hair feel so soft! x
ReplyDeleteDefinitely, I love how my hair feels after using it xo
